Demetra Valli

Demetra Valli (479 BC-) was a Hellenic pagan priestess at the Temple of Zeus at Cephalonia during the 5th century BC. In 431 BC, as she was praying for help from Zeus to find the legendary Spear of Kephalos, the mercenary Kassandra showed up and told Demetra that her prayers had been answered. Kassandra found the spear in the Melissani Cave and delivered the spear to Valli at the temple without asking for a reward, leading to Demetra promising that she would never forget the act, and that the people of the temple would help her if she was ever in need.
